Call of Duty League Major 4 Preview: PrizePicks and Predictions Day 3
The third day of the Call of Duty League Major 4 starts April 22 at 1:30 pm. Five matches will decide who moves on or who goes home.
To get us started, the Toronto Ultra looks to stay on track against a Flordia Mutineers team that surprisingly kept their hopes alive yesterday. The match many will be tuned into will be the star-studded game featuring Atlanta FaZe and the Los Angeles Thieves. Next up will be the New York Subliners, who will look to continue their dominance in Major 4 against the Championship favorites, OpTic Texas. The following match will be the winners of Toronto and Florida against the losers of the Thieves and FaZe. The Minnesota RØkkr will cap the night off against the losers of OpTic and New York.
Who should you place your bets on today? We don't bet, but this is who we'd be looking at if we did.

Atlanta FaZe Slasher less than 20.5 Map 1 kills
A match that every fan will be tuned in intently is when FaZe takes on the Thieves. After dominating the Seattle Surge in their first match, FaZe gets a tougher opponent that's been solid in respawns. Slasher can pop off at any moment, but with 14 kills in Hotel Hardpoint on the first day of the Major, don't expect him to get more than 20 today.
OpTic Texas Dashy more than 21.5 Map 3 Kills
OpTic is the team to beat, and it's been a tough task for teams in Major 4. One of the reasons for that is the stellar play from Dashy. He's been one of the better Control players this Major and proved that against the Boston Breach. In that match, he dropped 32 kills and had a +1.33 K/D. Expect more of the same, as this match against the New York Subliners won't be easy.
New York Subliners HyDra more than 24.5 Map 3 kills
In that same game, HyDra is another one to expect a big game from. As a team, New York is 21-12 in Control rounds this year, and in their last match against the Vegas Legion, they showed why. HyDra dropped 51 kills, posting a +1.65 K/D, while capturing seven zone tiers. In what should be a closely hard-fought game, New York will need HyDra to pop off, which is exactly what he will do.
